Is older version of MIP SDK (e.g. 2017 R2) still available for download?

The recommendation is to use the newest MIP SDK when developing. So the download is always the newest version.

If you have a special situation surrounding debugging a solution built with an older MIP SDK, or something similar, please contact Milestone Technical Support.
